guest: the home of bill clinton and mike huckabee. host: any inspiration from them? guest: certainly they are skilled vote getters. my views are more in line with mike huckabee than president clinton, but you have to admire their skills in being vote getters. host: what are your first priority is coming year, given your military service? guest: the first priority for me and i hope for most of my colleagues will be addressing our debt crisis. it's one of the reasons i ran. the debt now is over $16 trillion. the bill passed a few days ago does not address the long-term drivers of debt. with several critical moments coming up in the first 90 days, like the debt ceiling increase and the sequestration, spending cuts we will face in 60 days as well as the continuing resolution to fund the government and in march we will have to make immediate choices to address the crisis. host: are you a yes on raising the debt ceiling? guest: not an unqualified yes. president has said he will not negotiate about it this time. i find that ironic. he voted against raising the debt ceiling
